 1) Which product interests you the most, and why? (200 words)

The product that interested me the most was the water storage system taking place in India and other parts of Asia. The water storage system is very key for places that are fed with the monsoon and places like India that depend on the monsoon for their agriculture and survival. India's main GDP and majority of the population depend on agriculture as their means of income and survival. The agriculture directly depends on the monsoon rains as it feeds the vast amounts of cultivated land with water that otherwise would not have access to water. India and other neighbouring countries dependably heavily on these factors. Every year though the monsoons play their own part and sometimes they bring in a lot of rain and sometimes very scanty rain. Both are dangerous and harm the agriculture of the land. Less water means no cultivation, a lot means too much. Hence a product like the water storage system that stores 10000 litres of water for a person could be life saving. These storage tanks are created in a pit in the ground and made of plastic which can help retain and store every precious drop of water from the monsoon and then can be used systematically over time as per the requirements. This could save the crops and sustain the income earned by the farmers through their agriculture.

2) Which category would interest you to research further for your group project, and why? (100 words)

The category concerning water and its uses and its further research and development is very important for future generations not only in Asia but around the globe. Everyday people are dying due to droughts in different parts of the world. Water is the essential element for survival for every being and its loss is creating a major crisis around the globe. The beginning of projects like the water storage system, ceramic water filter, drip irrigation system, are just the start. Future developments will be looking at larger scales of functioning and using precious fresh water efficiently for our survival.
